   4     <h1>Test suites</h1>
   5     <p>There is a few test suites available to developers for testing
   6     a given version of libvirt:</p>
   7     <ul>
   8       <li>the internal test suite: present in the source code, it is run
   9           by developers before submitting patches upstream, it is also
  10           suggested to have it run and pass as part of the packaging
  11           process for distributions. It is run by launching:
  12           <pre>make check</pre>
  13           in a source tree after compilation has finished. It doesn't
  14           really make functional testing but checks that large portions
  15           of the code not interacting directly with virtualization
  16           functions properly.
  17       </li>
  18       <li>the <a href="testtck.html">TCK test suite</a> is a functional
  19           test suite implemented using the
  20           <a href="http://search.cpan.org/dist/Sys-Virt/">Perl bindings</a>
  21           of libvirt. It is available separately as a
  22           <a href="ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/tck/">download</a>, as a
  23           <a href="http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=libvirt-tck">package</a>
  24           in Fedora distributions, but best is probably to get
  25           the <a href="http://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt-tck.git">version
  26           from GIT</a>.
  27       <li>the <a href="testapi.html">libvirt-test-API</a> is also a functional
  28           test suite, but implemented using the
  29           <a href="python.html">Python bindings</a>
  30           of libvirt. It is available separately as a
  31           <a href="ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/libvirt-test-API/">download</a>,
  32           or directly get
  33           the <a href="http://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt-test-API.git">version
  34           from GIT</a>.
